Rare bar & kitchen

  5🌟Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich – 2650/- (A Must-Try!) Toppings:  Organic greens, spicy mayo, kimchi, and bean sprouts This sandwich stood out with its well-balanced textures and flavors. The Korean BBQ chicken was tender, with a delightful blend of sweet and savory notes, enhanced by the spicy mayo. The organic greens provided a fresh crunch, while the kimchi and bean sprouts added a layer of complexity and a satisfying tang. The accompanying coleslaw was light and refreshing.  4🌟Lamb Burger – 3750/- Toppings:  Cajun onions, tomato-cucumber raita, lettuce, and a fried egg This burger offers a clean and substantial experience with a large, juicy lamb patty that takes center stage. On the side, there was a portion of pickled beetroot and a serving of cucumber raita, which were nice additions but didn't contribute significantly to the overall flavor of the burger. The beetroot was pickled, distinct sweet and tangy taste.

  ISSO has truly elevated their menu offerings, creating an experience that's both visually stunning and appetizing. I particularly appreciated the incorporation of local edible flowers like butterfly pea, which added a unique touch. STAFF are nice too  4🌟Jaffna Curry  🌶️🌶️ This is a spicy gravy, and I noticed that the cooking style is less creamy, which adds to its distinctiveness. 3.5🌟Passionfruit Drink – 895/- I appreciate that their drinks now have a more natural taste, without adding carbonated drinks, 📝 just like the food, drinks too need a much appealing look, may a simple green garnish would have made the difference.  3.5🌟Jaffna Curry - Jackfruit  🌶️🥵  – 1395/- The breadfruit curry was quite spicy, and the breadfruit itself had a texture that reminded me of soaked roti, which was unexpected. While the curry had a pronounced roasted spice flavor that I'm accustomed to, the unusual texture might not appeal to everyone. I’m uncertain if I would try it again, though

  CHICKEN WAFFLE W' SUNNY SIDE UP A golden warm SOFT waffle, topped with perfectly seasoned chicken and a sunny-side-up egg, garnished with fresh bell peppers and herbs. Which was not much BUT It was delish! 

Cafe 1956

    4🌟Spiked salted caramel 1300/-  Nice frothy, slightly caramelized milk shake. I didn’t feel like it had any alcohol even the though it said “spiked” 😅 4🌟Affogato 1050/-  Dark bitter Expresso poured over vanilla ice cream. Perfect sweet bitter combo. It is one of the best Italian dessert    drinks to have on a hot day! 

Kaapi

3🌟Cardamon tea 300/-  Creamy with a steep smell, but I felt it was boiled too much. (Not my fav) 3.5🌟 filter coffee 250/-  Strong aroma, with a bitter undertone.   

Bellevue - port city

  ESPRESSO MARTINI 3500/-  Espresso Coffee 20ml, Tia Maria Coffee Liqueur 20ml, Keroff Vodka 30ml, Sugar Syrup 1ml  I would say this espresso martini had more than a touch of sweetness! 

Kiku Colombo 10% sc

Kid friendly Japanese fusion cafe  Which serves alcohol as well.  HIBISCUS TEA  🧊 900/-  The vibrant color of this hibiscus tea is captivating, and the refreshing chill of the ice makes it irresistibly refreshing. Its flavor profile is reminiscent of unsweetened cranberry juice. MATCHA MANGO MILK  🧊  1600/- This drink blends tastes of matcha with the sweetness of mango jam. The flavor leans more towards the earthy notes of matcha with just a subtle hint of mango, offering a barely-there sweetness. MATCHA STRAWBERRY MILK  🧊  1600/- Infused with sweet strawberry jam, this creamy drink is noticeably sweeter than the mango variant. The matcha flavor still takes the lead, but the strawberry adds a gentle, underlying sweetness. 4🌟 PRAWN GYOZA 1700/-  These gyoza, a Japanese adaptation of Chinese jiaozi, have their origins in recipes brought back by Japanese soldiers from Manchukuo during World War II. The dumplings are delicately steamed, encasing succulent prawns within thin, tender dou
